If there's anything we can count on Lil Nas X to do at an award show — aside from delivering a show-stopping performance — it's to wear a look that'll immediately turn heads. On Sunday night, for example, the rapper stepped out at the MTV Video Music Awards wearing a bedazzled, off-the-shoulder lavender suit [1] with a matching train. He threw a little '80s nostalgia into his look by pairing it with a full-blown mullet.

The mullet haircut has made a huge comeback [2] over the last two years with celebrities like Miley Cyrus [3], Barbie Ferreira, and Halsey debuting them during last year's quarantine, though Lil Nas X's take on the trend at the VMAs was a little less modern and similar to the classic cut that was popularised decades ago. The rapper gave his "business-in-the-front" cut a shaggy, wet and wavy look that was similar to a Jheri curl.

Lil Nas X is set to perform his Jack Harlow-assisted single "Industry Baby" during the show tonight, and he's also up for five awards including Video of the Year and Best Direction. See his mullet from every angle ahead.
